Document Description: This paper compares the Fair Economic Return (FER) to Land Tax (LT) to clarify the feasible policy choices if another damaging speculative housing cycle is to be prevented in Aotearoa New Zealand. FER would broaden the tax base to help meet the inevitable fiscal pressures arising from the ageing population and climate change. The intent is also to reduce housing inequality and allow the limited real housing resources to be redirected from high end real estate investments to provision of sound, safe, basic housing.
